Once upon a time, Jimmy Buffett wrote and recorded a cheesy 70s song called "Frank and Lola" about the aforementioned couple "on their second honeymoon in Pensacola." I found it, and cracked up the ready room playing it in front of our two BFFs when I was SDO . . .Come on - Francis is beloved.![]()

The VFA and helo CDREs are major command ashore because that’s where they’re parked. VAQ is also listed as “at sea.” Is that because of the expeditionary land-based capability of VP and VAQ? It’s not like VAQ isn’t eligible for CVW, right?Honestly, probably more "sea" than either of the VFA CDREs, given that the VP CDREs are more than just man/train/equip, and are generally more competitive for flag.
@Brett327 will likely have more insight, but I assume that VAQ is listed as “at sea” because (like you mentioned) the CDRE is the ISIC for the five VAQ expeditionary squadrons.The VFA and helo CDREs are major command ashore because that’s where they’re parked. VAQ is also listed as “at sea.” Is that because of the expeditionary land-based capability of VP and VAQ? It’s not like VAQ isn’t eligible for CVW, right?
They are an acceptable occasional substituteYou are all wrong; white chocolate macadamia nut cookies are where it's at.
Nothing to do with CVW, really. Just that the “at sea” CDREs are part of the operational CoC vice the man/train/equip role of the ashore ones.The VFA and helo CDREs are major command ashore because that’s where they’re parked.
